CORDIS -towards a multimedia News service
CORDIS, The European Commission's Research and Development Information Service, is now offering a redesigned and more interactive daily News service. Available in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish, CORDIS News service covers all European related research and innovation developments and activities, funding opportunities, research breakthroughs and events. The redesigned service provides quicker access to dedicated information on the Fifth Framework Programme, the current Research Presidency, the upcoming Framework Programme and the European research area (ERA) as well as access to interviews with European policy makers and innovation stakeholders. In addition, users can review forthcoming innovation-related events in Europe. A link to CORDIS Focus, the fortnightly publication that highlights a selection of News articles is also provided. The service also offers a specific search feature and direct connection to the e-mail alert system that enables users to receive latest updates and developments on hot topics they have selected. Moreover, an interactive facility allows users to directly contact the News team. The new design will support the integration of more multimedia tools to offer better coverage and facilities for users looking for research and innovation news.
